Late Passenger Barges Through Security – Melbourne Airport

After finding out that he was hours late for his flight, a man barged his way through security and onto the runway at Melbourne Airport. The man ran up the steps to the plane and attempted to yank the door open on the plane that was waiting to take off. His violent dash to the plane left two staff members injured. Baggage handlers managed to restrain the man and he was later taken into police custody.

The plane was checked over by engineers and the passengers were able to depart later that day.
